If I had the means I would do this, but I don't... thats why I am here. I am interested in creating a new UI 1 skin based on a computer interface for Star Trek TNG. I am a huge Star Trek fan and I just think this would be awesome. I would even be willing to pay someone to make this for me and teach me how to install it.

After doing some further reading in the wiki I believe I can actually accomplish what I am looking for on my own. It will basically be the same size icons but new color scheme and icon look. I will post screen shots when finished if anyone is interested.

exactly. For starters that is the correct way to go about doing it. You might want to watch the screencasts anyhow, and maybe find one or the other pointer that will help you decide what route to take. They are not that long and VERY helpful.

----update-----Nevermind.. I fixed it... I needed to do a full regen from the admin screen.

-----------------Can someone tell me what this means?

The directory name is the same as the Description record in the "Skins" table. OrbiterGen will use the new graphics if they exist, and will revert to the graphics in "Basic" if they don't. You don't need to completely replace every graphic, just the ones you want.

Where do I find the actual skins directory that I am looking for?I have backed up my basic file and then edited some of the graphics in the basic file located under the skins directory. When I go to regen my orbiters nothing changes... I have to be doing something wrong... How do I get my new graphics to load?
